178Driving and operatingLPG consists mainly of propane and
butane. The octane rating is between 105 and 115, depending on the
butane proportion. LPG is stored as a
liquid at a pressure of approximately
five to ten bar.
The boiling point depends on the
pressure and the mixing ratio. At
ambient pressure, it is between
-42 °C (pure propane) and -0.5 °C
(pure butane).Caution
The system works at an ambient
temperature of approx. -8 °C to
100 °C.
Full functioning of the LPG system can only be guaranteed with liquid
gas which complies with the minimum
requirements of DIN EN 589.
